Where the work stands

An active tracker of unresolved matters with the State Bank of Pakistan, covering purpose codes, Form R implementation, remittance documentation, and banking facilitation for exporters.
Research pipeline
Publications in progress include the State of the IT Industry Report, an AI adoption benchmarking study for Pakistan and peer economies, and market entry frameworks for Africa, Australia and New Zealand, and the Nordics.
What's next
Two new initiatives for Q3 2026: a legislative monitoring tool giving members real-time alerts on bills and regulatory changes, and a structured investment pathway connecting Pakistani IT companies with the US DFC.
